Why should I inquire via OSMETALL and not directly from the manufacturer?
OSMETALL stands for more than just forwarding inquiries — we ensure you a better overall result.
Price advantage: We bundle orders, use our purchasing volume and only specifically request the products from the appropriate manufacturers. In this way, we achieve conditions that individual inquiries usually do not reach.
Delivery date advantage: Through our daily cooperation with the plants, we are able to incorporate requirements into ongoing productions — even for smaller quantities that manufacturers would often not be able to serve alone.
Logistics advantage: With our own logistics and daily transport by truck, rail, sea and air freight, we combine shipments efficiently, reduce costs and speed up delivery

What if I need higher exams or special requirements?
Many manufacturers and warehouses are classic sellers — their aim is to sell standard products with as little effort as possible. Special requirements often mean extra work for them.
OSMALLALL works differently — we are technical sales.
Know-how & specialization: We are very familiar with standards, specifications and test methods.
Targeted manufacturer selection: We know which manufacturers reliably offer ultrasonic tests, notch tests, special certificates or other tests.
Complete process support: From enquiry to documentation, we ensure that all requirements are implemented precisely — without loss of friction between customers and manufacturers.
The result: Precise compliance with your specifications, less coordination effort and absolute certainty that your project is technically and qualitatively secure.

How does OSMALLALL help with shorter delivery times?
Delivery times depend not only on production, but above all on how orders are placed and transports are organized. This is exactly where our advantage lies:
Daily rankings: We continuously book orders from our manufacturers and are thus able to integrate requirements into ongoing production processes.
Flexibility for small quantities: Many manufacturers reject smaller requirements. Thanks to our quotas, we can still service these quantities.
Strong market position: Our bundled purchasing volume gives us preferred delivery options.
Optimized logistics: With worldwide transport by truck, rail, ship and flight, we use free capacity, bundle freight and thus reduce both costs and delivery times.
The result: Shorter delivery times, fewer minimum quantity problems and fast, reliable processing.

How strong is OSMALLALL when projects have strict requirements for countries of origin or approved manufacturers?
Many projects require material exclusively from specific countries of origin — usually the EU, USA, Canada, Japan or Korea. In addition, only certain works are often approved.
This is precisely where our particular strength lies.
Experience in project business: We have been successfully supplying international projects with the strictest requirements for decades. Our customers include leading international companies and end users such as Saudi Aramco®, Linde®, BASF®, BP®, Shell®, Siemens®, Evonik®, Petrobras®, Petronas®, Repsol® and many more.
Close relationships with leading manufacturers: Excellent connections with qualified suppliers are crucial for the successful completion of major projects. Manufacturers for factory quantities and distributors with strong storage capacities ensure that every part is in the right place at the right time. Our manufacturing partners are among the world's leading manufacturers — and we contribute their know-how directly to your projects.
Holistic safety: We not only guarantee the origin of materials, but also complete documentation, certification and traceability — as required by end customers and audits.
The result: OSMALLALL can not only keep up — we have been setting standards in international project business for years with the strictest origin and manufacturer requirements.

Does OSMALLALL's service mean higher costs for me?
No, quite the opposite — our customers benefit economically in several ways.
More than just an “extended shopping table”: While buyers usually rely on a fixed supplier database, we monitor the markets on a daily basis, audit new producers, carry out test purchases and are constantly expanding our supplier pool. As a result, we draw more potential from the markets than an individual buyer ever could.
Specialization & market knowledge: For decades, we have specialized in our product categories. We know price developments, production capacities and procurement channels in detail and actively use this knowledge to benefit our customers.
Bundling of purchasing volumes & logistics: We bundle and use our high purchasing volume not only for better material prices, but also for optimised transport costs. With our ongoing global supply chains, we can efficiently combine freight and thus achieve tangible benefits.
Reduced administrative effort: Instead of having to process many individual orders, deliveries, inspections and invoices with several suppliers, our customers receive everything from a single source.
The result: Our customers don't pay more — often even less. In addition, there is a noticeable advantage in time and effort, which is not seen in any direct price calculation, but which is clearly noticeable in everyday project work.
